All tag results for human growth hormone

It's official! The MLB has announced that they will ban Alex Rodriguez for the remainder of the season as well as the entire 2014 season in the biggest suspension in league history!

As we had previously mentioned, A-Rod's punishment has been expected for quite some time now after he was once again linked to the use of performance enhancing drugs and his attempts to cover up his tracks.

The league made the news official this afternoon and released a statement saying:

Despite the mistrial declared by a judge in July, Roger Clemens is going back to court to defend himself against perjury allegations for lying in a 2008 hearing that he never used steroids or other enhancement drugs.

Federal Judge Reggie Walton rejected ex-baseball pitcher's request to toss the perjury charges against him and says he must face another trial on April 17.

The proceedings were immediately stopped this past July after prosecutors "inadvertently" allowed jurors to see comments by U.S. Rep. Elijah E. Cummings during the 2008 hearing of which the charges stem from.

American cyclist Floyd Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title, has not only admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs, but has also alleged that he did so with Lance Armstrong!

In a series of e-mails to cycling officials and sponsors, he accuses not only Armstrong, but Levi Leinheimer and Dave Zabriskie of using a variety of drugs, including EPO and human growth hormones!

Holy shiz!

He says:

"I want to clear my conscience. I don't want to be part of the problem any more. If I don't say something now then it's pointless to ever say it."

However, the International Cycling Union is speaking out against these allegations, and assert that Landis is bitter and attempting to perpetuate lies to get revenge!

President Pat McQuaid said in a statement:

"These guys coming out now with things like this from the past is only damaging the sport. If they've any love for the sport they wouldn't do it. What's his agenda? The guy is seeking revenge. It's sad, it's sad for cycling. It's obvious he does hold a grudge. He already made those accusations in the past. Armstrong has been accused many times in the past but nothing has been proved against him. And in this case, I have to question the guy's credibility. There is no proof of what he says. We are speaking about a guy who has been condemned for doping before a court."

Yet another story of sexual assault in Hollywood -- but also another story of Carrie Fisher being the coolest person ever!

Fisher's longtime friend Heather Ross went on Tucson's 94.9 Morning Mix radio show Monday to tell her story of being sexually assaulted by "an Oscar-winning producer" (whom she did not name -- see, Lindsay Lohan, people are still afraid to come forward without others speaking out).

Attn: Mayim Bialik -- she says she was dressed very conservatively in slacks and had "felt safe thinking, 'I'm overweight, I'm not attractive to these people, I'm not looking to become an actress.'" But she was assaulted all the same.

Attn: Donna Karan -- Ross also says she "stayed quiet for years" because she was worried people would say she "was asking for it" by simply agreeing to meet the man for dinner.

One person Ross did tell was her longtime friend, Carrie Fisher. And if there's anything we know about Princess Leia, it's that she was afraid of no one and nothing.
